A deal to build a Schlitterbahn Waterpark has been in place for three years now, but has been held up by the FAA's concerns.

It would be the first big-tme water park in Broward County since Six Flags Atlantis was the place to go get your waterslide on (remember that place?). The closest park to us now us Rapids in Riviera Beach. So, this is kind of a big deal.

The park is expected to be built where Ft. Lauderdale stadium is now. The old spring training home of the Yankees and Orioles would be taken down, while nearby Lockhart Stadium would stay put and might even be renovated to become a part of the waterpark.

There are plans to have some of the water rides to go underneath the stadium's bleachers, which would be something.
